Welcome to the collection of objects which underpin the RAF Museum. The whole collection comprises several hundred thousands of objects ranging in size from aircraft to lapel badges, and spanning more than a century of aviation history.

Collections at RAF Museum London

RAF Museum London has a world-class collection and display of aircraft in several exciting and interactive ehibitions. Our film & sound collection has some seven million feet of film dating from the pioneering days of aviation to the present day and the photograph collection contains about 250,000 images.

Our fine art collection is arguably the best collection of military aviation artwork in the UK and represents the people, aircraft, equipment and 'Service Life' of the RAF. Our medal collection encompasses all orders, decorations and medals and compliments our uniform collection, which is particularly strong on the First and Second World Wars. Also based in London are our extensive archive and library.
